I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.

Every now and then I will play; I try to focus on charitable work. I might do it because it's an offer I can't refuse, so I rally and try to stay in shape and keep myself active.

Tennis is one of the only sports in America where the sport doesn't grow with the size of the person - it just forces you to swallow the whole pill.

The best predictor of future events is probably past events.

My only good result in 1997 was marrying Brooke Shields.

Tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love - the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature.

Hitting a ball dead perfect - the only peace.
